Butchered animal
remains dumped
THREE sacks full of butchered animal
remains were among the rubbish
found dumped by the roadside on Lee
Lane, Royston.
Dog walker John Race made the discovery last weekend while out with his
dog.
John says that rubbish on Lee Lane
has been a problem for months and
has complained to the council about
litter and fly-tipping.
Coun Roy Miller, cabinet spokesman
for Development and Environment
and Culture Operations, said: “We
would like to thank the member of
public who reported the fly-tipping on
Lee Lane. The items included builders’
rubble, garden waste and an old
hosepipe. The council takes all cases
of fly-tipping seriously and will pursue
action, where evidence exists, against
the individuals responsible. We would
encourage anyone who finds fly-tipping to call the council on 772468.”

EGYPTOLOGIST TO STAR
IN NEW DOCUMENTARY
BY HELEN WILLIAMS
EGYPTOLOGIST Joann Fletcher is to have a starring role
as presenter of a BBC2 documentary.
Dr Fletcher is stepping into the
shoes of presenters such as
Professor Brian Cox to make the
subject interesting in 'Ancient
Egypt: Life and Death in the Valley
of the Kings' which starts on the
week of March 11.
She aims to smash the stuffy
image of "yet another old bloke
talking about history on the telly,"
although previews say her Barnsley
accent will ruffle feathers in what is
traditionally a 'posh' subject.
She said: "We've been brainwashed that Egyptology is the preserve of the Home Counties but in
fact,
Sheffield,
Leeds
and
Harrogate have the most brilliant
collections of Egyptian artefacts."
Dr Fletcher's two-part series
shows the lives of ordinary
Egyptians who were born, lived,
worked and died in the kingdom.
The programme traces the lives of
a husband and wife from the tomb-

builder's town of Deir el-Medina.
"Their tomb was found intact with
some exciting things like jewellery
and make-up," said Dr Fletcher.
The Barnsley-born academic,
who lives on the Yorkshire coast,
attended the town's Girls' High
School and the Sixth Form College
before going on to University
College, London.
She supervised the mummification of Torquay taxi driver Alan
Billis for a C4 programme
'Mummifying Alan' which won a
Bafta and a Royal Television
Award.
Dr Fletcher has already appeared
on various TV programmes, including one where she escorted Monty
Python star Terry Jones around
ancient Egypt. "It was hilarious - he
dressed up as an Egyptian," she
said.
She still does talks and lectures at
Barnsley schools and the Sixth
Form College when she's not lecturing at York University and has a
wealth of fascinating facts at her
fingertips. She said: "For instance,
did you know Cleopatra was a redhead?"

PEOPLE GO POTTY OVER ARTIST’S TOP CREATIONS
BARNSLEY-based potter Sarah Stoker has
set up an artwork,
prints and greetings
card business to
indulge her love of
painting — and in just
one week sold 2,000
cards at a London
exhibition.
The business, Salpot

Designs, is another string
to Sarah’s successful company V and S Ceramics,
which she has been running for 23 years.
Sarah, 43, works from her
home-based studio in
Gawber where she produces cards from her original artwork.
She has 96 card designs
with another 15 coming up
this year, along with more
than 40 pottery designs
from traditional floral to
funky contemporary.
“I mainly paint with
acrylics but also love using
mixed media,” said Sarah,
who set up her pottery
business with help from a
Prince’s Youth Trust grant
after winning ‘Designer of
the Year’ in 1989.
She went to Broadway
School and then Barnsley
Art College where she got

to ‘dabble’ for two years
in surface pattern design,
painting textiles, glass
and ceramics.
This was followed by a
mixed media HND course
at Cumbria College of Art
and Design where Sarah
was taught by inspirational potters such as Jim
Malone.
She set up V and S
Ceramics in 1990 with her
Carlisle college friend
Victoria Andrews. Sarah’s
stepdad, a builder, helped
them renovate a pottery
in Darton and landlord
Roy Binns gave the young
entrepreneurs a good deal
on their rent.
“Both our families really
supported us,” said Sarah.
“We were there nearly
17 years, living initially on
Enterprise Allowance, but
we built the business and

ended up supplying Fifth
Avenue in New York as
well as UK outlets from
Scotland to Kent.”
The two dissolved the
partnership in 2006, with
Victoria going back to textiles, but they still work
together on projects while
Sarah runs V and S
Ceramics as a sole trader.
Locally, she now supplies
Spirit florists in Summer
Lane, Barnsley, and The
Watershed at The
Pothouse Hamlet, Silkstone.
Sarah admits that running a business can be
tough. “I lost thousands of
pounds when my kiln
packed up – kilns are
expensive — and then my
suppliers changed a glaze
and it messed things up.
Making ceramic cupcakes
saved my bacon one year

and then making smaller,
cheaper hanging decorations saved me for another. It would help if banks
were more supportive to
small businesses. But I do
love painting every day.”
Her ideas come from
flowers, birds and fabrics
or people ask for specific
commissions.
“I was once asked to
paint a Corgi on a sugar
bowl but it looked more
like an Alsatian!” she said.
“I have painted someone’s coat of arms, and
once hand-painted tiles
for a whole bathroom —
that commission bought
us a car.”
Sarah is now preparing
for 2013 shows with her
next at Hodsock Priory
Food and Country Fair in
Blyth, near Worksop, from
February 16 to 17.

The Slazenger factory
is to bounce back
IN its heyday the Slazenger’s factory in Barnsley
employed hundreds of local people and produced thousands of tennis balls each year.
They were sent all over the world and every year 16,000
balls were made especially for the Wimbledon tennis
championship. Only the best workers were selected to
work in the special ‘Wimbledon room’. Those elite workers carried out all manner of jobs ranging from checking
the bounce, measuring the balls, or even sniping away
stray tufts of felt. Even the famous wooden umpire chairs
were made in the factory at Measbrough Dike. Now
those glory days are to be re-lived as an exhibition in the
Experience Barnsley Museum which opens in the town
hall this summer. So the search is one for the men and
women who worked there so they can share their memories and hopefully their own memorabilia. The team
from Experience Barnsley want to talk to as many people
as possible. They also want to collect potential exhibits —
top of their wish list is an original tennis ball made in
Barnsley for Wimbledon.Any photographs or objects
from Slazenger’s would also be most appreciated.
Anyone who can help go to the Cooper Gallery on March
2 between 10am and 2pm.

FARM’S MEERKATS
ENJOYING HIGH LIFE
BY LYNSEY BRADFORD
MEERKATS at Wigfield Farm are
enjoying the high life thanks to a
new enclosure designed by animal care students.
The new enclosure has been designed
to recreate the meerkats’ natural habitat, the desert, as accurately as possible
with sand, rocks, tree stumps and heat
lamps to keep them warm.
A glass panel surround means visitors
have a clear view of the comical creatures and they can peek out at their
adoring fans.
The four meerkats were bought as
pups by the farm in 2010 and have since
been a big hit with staff, students and

visitors.
Students studying animal care at the
farm help with feeding and cleaning as
well as conducting health checks as part
of their course.
James Ledger, 18, is studying an
extended diploma in animal management.
He said: “We have been looking at
ways of making life for the meerkats
more exciting.
“Foraging is an important part of their
daily routine so we have been hiding
food in some weird and wonderful
places including in a water melon and a
kitchen roll to make it more interesting
for them.”

Delays are possible
as Dodworth Road
closes for six weeks
BY GAIL ROBINSON
ONE of the main roads out of Barnsley town
centre will be closed for the next six weeks.
From February 18 contractors will start to replace 171
metres of ageing water pipe on Dodworth Road
between the junctions of Lancaster Street and the Town
End roundabout.
The work is part of an ongoing project to improve
drinking water quality and reduce the number of bursts
along the underground pipe network.
A one-way temporary traffic restriction will be in place
throughout the project. That will allow traffic to travel
from Dodworth Road towards the Town End roundabout, but will not allow entry to Dodworth Road from
the roundabout.
Diversions will be in place along Westway, Sheffield
Road, Park Road and Broadway. Lancaster Street will
also be closed at the junction with Dodworth Road.
Project manager, Mike Tunnicliffe said: “This work is
essential to ensure we maintain the highest quality of
drinking water for our customers, and to prevent incidents of discolouration of the water supply. We ask residents and drivers to bear with us whilst these essential
works are completed.”
In total, almost 3km of water pipe has been replaced
so far across Barnsley and by the time the whole project
is complete, almost 5.5km of pipe will have been
replaced.
Some customers’ water supplies may be affected during this work, but if Yorkshire Water need to turn off
water they will contact individual customers at least 48
hours in advance.

NEW CHURCH HALL National Chip Week
RESURRECTED
FROM THE ASHES

Park Road Fisheries

BY HELEN WILLIAMS
A PARISH priest has thrown
open the doors of the newlybuilt church hall in Lundwood.

N W

B i TEN A
U i
N FI D
D T O
LE
!

Father Kevin Maddy, of St Mary
Magdalene Church, is inviting people to use the new £80,000 church
hall.
It replaces the old hall which was
gutted by fire in 2005, destroying the
hall roof and interior.
The main church was also deteriorating but has now had substantial
work to cure damp and drainage
problems.
Father Maddy, who has been
parish priest at Lundwood for about
18 months, said: “The church hall
used to be the centre of village life
and it was a real blow for the community when it burned down.”
The new hall is a modular building
and was completed by York architects PPIY Limited in January but has
just opened for hire.
‘Chairobic’ exercise sessions already take place there on Mondays
and the hall has hosted a funeral
tea.
Father Maddy came to Lundwood
after spending four years as a port
chaplain in Yokohama, Japan,
where he experienced the devastating earthquake and tsunami of

2011. He said: “There was no damage at Yokohama which was about
150 miles away from the epicentre,
but we felt a very big shake and lost
electricity and gas supply.”
His post was suspended because of
the hazard of the Fukushima
nuclear plant.
He has also spent 20 years as a military chaplain and has lived in
Cyprus, Holland, Oman and Iraq.
St Mary Magdalene featured in the
Channel 4 documentary Priest Idol

in 2005 which spent a year following
a young American, Father James
McCaskill, who raised congregation
figures.
Father Maddy felt the programme
did not show Lundwood in its best
light. He said: “The place was totally
different then and Lundwood has
improved since.
“Someone said to me not so long
ago that the heart had gone out of
the community here – the new
church hall can help address that.”

National Chip Week

IT’S over 150 years since
the very first fish and

doors but the British dish
still remains the nation’s
number one takeaway
food today.
Whether served with a
dash of vinegar in the chip
shop, steaming hot from
the oven at home, or in the pub with
friends, Britain’s ongoing love affair with
chips means we enjoy them in nearly
three billion meals every year – a
testament to their versatility, tastiness
and value for money.
Due to its ever-growing popularity
there are now more than 11,000 fish and

KEELINGS
165 Racecommon
Road
KEELINGS on Racecommon Road,
Barnsley, is a family run business
owned and run by Ian and Kamonpan
Senior, his parents and a brilliant loyal
team of eight years.
The shop is a very traditional fish shop.
Cod and haddock are delivered from
Bridlington and quality potatoes are
from local Yorkshire farms, all of which
are prepared fresh daily.
The menu is flexible so customers can
choose different sizes of fish or chips

and how they would like them cooking.
We also provide gluten-free batter
which is very popular and don't worry
about the cooking of it, Ian is on a
gluten-free diet too.
Keelings has been awarded a five star
food hygiene rating 'very-good' for the
past few years which Ian is very proud
of. He says the team at Keelings are not
trying to be all things to all people, but
are simply trying to be themselves.

“Basically it’s a case of how big do you want
it?” Mark continues, “Our cod is filleted in our
kitchens, I can fry you a cod as big as you like.”
But why the emphasis on cod? These days
times are hard in the fish & chip trade. The cost
of fish is high, cod isn’t being fished as much as
before, and potatoes have rocketed up in price
over the last year. Some shops have changed
their menus to show ‘fish and chips’ which is
often a way to disguise that they are not serving
haddock or cod. Coley for example is a less
expensive fish than cod and is a favourite with
shops trying to cut costs.
“It’s all about quality and having pride in what
we sell,” Mark continues.
“Oh My Cod! will continue to serve the best
quality Icelandic cod, with chips cooked in the
best oils, even during these tough times. Not only
that! With the fresh new look, and new lower
prices, the customer really does get value for
money at OMC. And a low price makes a meal
taste even better!”
Oh My Cod is open Monday to Saturday at 142
Redbrook Road, Gawber, Barnsley.

SHOP OWNER IN KNIFE ORDEAL, SAYS BE VIGILANT
BY KATIA HARSTON
A SHOPKEEPER believes he was alone

hours without knowing when his premises

Robert Teal runs Vitesse

It was broken into at
about 1.10am on Sunday
February 10 after a pane

Robert contacted the
police and made his way
to the shop with officers

who searched the premises. He then stayed until
4.30am to board up the
window.

He checked the alarm
system and saw a sensor
had been triggered in an
upstairs storage room
after he had left earlier
that morning.
Now he thinks the person who broke-in had
been upstairs while he
was downstairs fixing the
window, and had waited
until Robert left at
4.30am before trying to
take the cigarettes and
escaping through an
upstairs window.
The 52-year-old said it
was ‘a very sobering
experience’ because he
had gone into the upstairs
storage room for wood to
board up the broken window — where he believes
the intruder was hiding.
He is now warning other
shopkeepers to be on their
guard and make a thorough search following a
break-in.
“Finding the knife
behind the counter — it
really brings home what
could’ve happened,” he
said. “My feelings
changed from being
angry to a realisation that
actually it’s lucky I didn’t
find the person. I am not
criticising the police for
not finding them, I went
into that room and I didn’t see them.”
Robert believes the person who broke in could
have been hiding in a

He has urged people not
to take matters into their
own hands in a similar
situation.
“Don’t go looking, telephone the police. Again
this could’ve been a very
different story.”
Little was taken apart
from a tips’ jar and
Robert said it is the first
break-in in more than a
decade.

In a separate incident
also on Church Street,
Harrington’s cafe and
snack bar was broken into
early on Monday.
The shop’s front door
was kicked in and owner
Denise Harrington said it
looked like ‘a stable door’.
“It looked a mess.
Whoever has done it has
only got away with the little bit money we had for
change.
“Boxes of chocolate,

crisps and pop have been
taken as well. We’ve had
attempted break-ins
before but they never
managed to get in. I suppose you just have to keep
going.
“I think we have been
fortunate, it could have
been worse.”
A spokesman for the
police confirmed officers
attended both incidents
and investigations are in
their early stages.

Brunt dreams over as
England miss the final
CRICKETER Katherine Brunt and
the England Women’s team had to
finish off their final match of the
World Cup in India knowing that
they had lost the chance to retain
their title.
Dodworth fast bowler Brunt, 27, was
watching her team-mates bat first against
New Zealand in Mumbai when the news
filtered through from across the city that
West Indies had beaten already-qualified
Australia meaning those two teams
topped the Super Six group and qualified
for the final.
Brunt was part of the team that won the
World Cup in 50-over and Twenty20 formats but England no longer hold either
title.
Brunt, who took eight wickets in the
three preliminary group games, struck a
further four times in three Super Six
matches.
The former Barnsley CC junior produced
another good performance when she took
two for 22 as England bowled Australia

out for 147.
But the defending champions began disastrously in reply and fell to 39 for six.
The seventh wicket pair added 57 but
another collapse, including the dismissal
of Brunt for two, left England on 114 for
nine. A brave last-wicket stand took
England to the brink of an unlikely victory but they were eventually all out for 145
and lost by two runs.
England bounced back when they skittled South Africa for 77 in a seven-wicket
win as Brunt took one for 28 off eight
overs.
They then beat New Zealand by 15 runs
in what became a dead rubber last
Wednesday as Brunt took one for 50 off
ten overs.
She has now taken 88 wickets for
England in 69 One Day Internationals
and will look to improve on that in August
in a home series against Australia.
The sides will play three 50-over games,
three Twenty20 contests and a four-day
Test match.
